Ah, yes, the "iconic," "quirky" poverty of the New York City streets! Imagine having a wallet that conjures all the romance of sleeping on sidewalks in a city where an unprecedented number of people are now without a roof over their heads.

Wow that is so insensitive and callous and flippant its not even funny. It's a goddamn parody of its self.
ReplyDeleteWhat idiot copywriter came up with that crap? Someone from LA, perhaps? Meh.
ReplyDeleteBuy this instead, as it is not intended to evoke poverty-stricken new yorkers. Just make you think of a hot cuppa joe. In NYC.

It is also sold on Amazon.com and other sites.
ReplyDeleteThat is old. It's been out for years and years.
ReplyDeleteThis is the ultimate regift.
ReplyDeleteYes Trixie,
ReplyDeleteI remember this from around 2002. It was sold at that cute little gift shop on the east side of Greenwich Avenue. South a block or two from Fiddlesticks, same side of avenue.
There are so many douche bags.
ReplyDeleteI have an iconic gift for you...now I lost my train of thought.

For real @CB2? You've got to be kidding me. That wallet is a clever piece of Pop Art, not a slam against the homeless. Taking it down from your site because of a few negative comments here is ridiculous. Clean up your ad copy and you'll be fine.
